My 11 year 85 lb Rott-GSD mix has hip dysplasia & arthritis in his shoulder. He has severe pain, doesn't put weight on his rear leg in the last few weeks. Has several oozing sarcomas on his back. We have been seeing his vet every 2 wks. He is on
I'm so sorry Bubba is doing so poorly! Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Boop by Petco to say it's safe to give an extra dose of medication without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. If he's in a lot of pain, I would give his vet a call now to discuss if they feel it's safe to give him some extra Previcox. Best of luck.

Hi, I have a great Pyrenees's/Anatolian shepherd. She's almost 6yrs old, 105 lbs She has arthritis in her hind legs and back. Her vet has her on osteo biflex and prevocox 227 mg daily. She's active. But getting up and moving around for the first coup
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I’m sorry to hear Chloe is suffering from arthritis. Medically, in addition to an anti-Inflammatory like previcox there are additional pain medications she could be started on. Adjunctively to medications, laser treatments, hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), and acupuncture are all options you could look into to help her as well. Good luck!

My cat was spayed today and the doctor prescribed Previcox (firocoxib) 57 mg. I was checking the drug online, and i found out that it should not be given to cats and it might be fatal. I contacted my vet, but he said that he had prescribed this medic
According to Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook, while Previcox may ultimately be shown to be safe for use in cats, supporting information or FDA approval is not currently available for it to be recommended. I don't like to disagree or contradict a vet's recommendations, but because there isn't supporting evidence that it's safe to be used in cats, another pain medication may be better to use on Haley. I would speak to your vet about getting another pain medication prescribed for her.

I gave my dog a Previcox pill (half of 227 mg) a couple nights ago for sudden pain he was having after going to the park (he had FHO surgery couple months ago) He was still in pain so today the vet prescribed him Vetprofen 100mg to take for 15 days.
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. Great question! No, I would not be worried about this scenario. Typically we don't like to give two different NSAIDs very close together but that is mostly when a dog has been on one long-term and we want to switch to another. Has only having one dose of previcox a few days is not really concerning. The main reason we worry is the potential for gastric ulceration. If you want to be cautious you could give him some omeprazole for a week but it would be best to contact your vet before adding in any other medications. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

A vet has already prescribed 20Mg Robenacoxib for our dog. We want to buy the repeat tablets online but I think he's going to want £20 each time just to write repeat prescriptions. Is there a way of avoiding this?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! In the US we do not charge to write prescriptions (as far as I know). The laws in the UK must be different. Robenacoxib are prescription so there is no way to get the drug with out your Vet approving the prescription, My suggestion is to ask for a larger supply, 3 months or more with refills. That way you do not have to pay the prescription fee that often. I hope this helps and have a great day!
